Lyrics by Nick Clabburn (except 'Dust' by John Hackett)
Music composed by John Hackett
"All in
all, an solid first rock effort. I certainly hope it is not the
last. Who knew John had it in him, and why did it take so long for
us to find out?"
World of Genesis Online - more...
"This is
a pleasant album from John, both musically and lyric wise, and a
very early contender for album of the year!"
The Hairless Heart Herald - more...
"This is
a damn fine effort and one which will bring a great deal of pleasure
to existing fans and new ones too and let's hope it isn't the last
rock opus from John - on this showing I don't think it will be -
superb stuff all round!"

Velvet Afternoon

Velvet
Afternoon is inspired by the music of Erik Satie and other
influential classical composers and is richly melodic. The style
is distinctly classical but the emphasis is on good tunes with
a relaxing contemporary feel.
"If you
like the flute then this is a great example of styles and sounds
it can produce. If you appreciate players who brought the flute
to the rock world such as Ian Anderson, Ian McDonald, Thijs Van
Leer, David Jackson and Peter Gabriel, this album is in your range."
The Hairless Heart Herald - more...
"A wonderful
showcase of the man's talent, both as a showcase and a performer."
Alan Hewitt TWRO
"Well played
and realistically recorded. This is undemanding music for easy listening,
but several of the pieces have real staying power."
Daily Mail
Unhurried timeless
beauty...wonderful to relax to."

Sketches
of Satie
Camino CAMCD20
Released: 2000
Also available on 12" Vinyl

"...John
and I had long talked about a project involving Satie’s music.
Would it require an orchestra or could we use the full tonal range
of our own two favoured instruments to create a sound canvas worthy
of the keyboard-based writing? Either way it would be a return
to our musical roots when we first became aware of ‘Atmospheric’
music, brave enough to remain rhythmically static yet all the
more poignant precisely because of that ‘held-back’
quality. There always was a love of music in the family home but
not specifically the ‘Classical’ tradition - I’d
say we found our way to this music ourselves without being pushed.
For us, Satie was definitely a man ahead of his time. Unlikely
modulations abound and the Minimalists were to take from him as
would Jazz, and where would ‘Ambient’ music be without
his example? I
can’t fully describe my delight and joy that the sessions
went so well and that the album, long overdue, is now complete.
I may be sticking my neck out here but I don’t believe John
has ever sounded in finer form, he was obviously born to play
Satie - as I am sure you’ll agree!"
- Steve Hackett
